I posted here believing someone would have the answer at this fingertips or at least on a shelf nearby. Clearly this wasn't the case, it seems the book is no longer popular in Fairfield.,So I did what I had tried to avoid, buy the Kindle edition of the Science of Being ahd Art of Living, Well here is what I remembered:
=========================================== This explains the significance of action and justifies its status as a path to enlightenment. This innocent, natural, simple process of perception and experience—from the outward gross to the inward subtle and Transcendent, and, from there, again returning to the outward gross—comprises the path of action^15 for enlightenment. ^15 The Bhagavad-Gītā calls it the Path of Action, or Karma Yoga. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Science of Being and Art of Living (Kindle Locations 5255-5257). MUM Press. Kindle Edition =========================================== Maharishi plainly states that TM is Karma Yoga. IMHO, every TMer who practices regularly should sooner rather than later know this. In those early for me years, I remember I had added an extra 5 or 10' at the ebnd of my practice, reading TM books. After Science of Being and Art of Living and the Commentary, I read Canelakos' book on the early research on TM, Bloonfeld's book, the cartoon book, and then 2 or 3 more that I came across, until I realized that the book I was reading was repeating, almost verbatim, what I had read in the previous book, and I realized it was time to stop. Ah, yes. And I already had the habit of reading all the footnotes and endnotes, sometimes the author conveys crucial information in there. A few years later I came across the very interesting Glaser's book Positive Addiction, and the I read 2 9r 3 of Deepak Chopra's books when he was with the movement. I haven't read any other book on TM for several years, and certainly there have been some well worth reading. But, IMHO, new mediators should hot skip the 2 classics, including the footnots!
